Milestones

I've been wanting to post this picture for quite some time, so although it has no relation to the topic of this post, it's just about one of the cutest pictures ever of Blake and cousin Bree, so I must share. Oh, and don't pay attention to the date, its obviously incorrect.

Blake has hit a couple of noteworthy milestones in the past few weeks. He is saying more words, selectively, but really understanding and able to follow directions, like getting a book before bedtime, brushing his teeth, cleaning up after himself, etc. Now starts the point in time when I have to be cautious of what I say because it's not uncommon for Blake to repeat the word. He can point to many of his or others body parts, including the nose, eyes, ears, head, foot, and mouth. It shows in his face how proud he is of himself. Apart from that, he is becoming increasingly lovable. He grabs your face now when he gives you a kiss and pats your back when embracing you for a hug. I can't get enough of him, he is the softest, sweetest, cutest little guy in the whole wide world. He LOVES the playground too, specifically the slide, so we spend a lot of time going to play. Last weekend I was the only parent crawling through tunnels, and going down slides, given that Blake insisted on playing on the "big kid" play scape. No complaints there, wEEeEeeeeee!
